T0 all infamia '25 may concern Be ii known that l, HARRY G, CMEHUN, a of the United States, residdg at Biomingi'im, in *die Coilny of li/iQLean and State of Iliinois, have invented :i new and useful Headlight Attachmnt, of which che following is :i speciicntion. I,This invention i'eabes to @paruiusc "fmaicziliy shifing the heal; iighis of aub u wbiies and othef viiicles SQ as t@ `mm them iii the dii'eciion in which the machin turned the imction in Whciiihe Jehicl's traveling; and here''oise the ioadmiy is not suiicwntijy lighed to assistth@ driver to givajimi-iiimg 'to persons in the path si' th@ which.

The upper ends of the arms 23 are reduced as shown at 24, so as to project into the sockets usually provided upon the sides of the head lamps oi an automobile.

It is tobe understood that the various parte of the nieehanism are to be adjusted so that y when the steering wheels are ex- 4tended strai'yht'orward relative to the 1nachine the arms 23 of the two lain su n porting' brackets will be in a plane extending transversely ont' the said machine and at right angles to the longitudinal center there- Vvvhen the sector shaft is turned by the steering Wh ,el the arm :2l will pull or push upon the rod 19 so as to swing the arm l? and. the rotating stem il connected to said arm 17 will swing its arm 5 laterally and will thus shift the rod 16 transvereelj,y of the machine and cause a cortesponding movement of 'the stem 3 jthe other side of the mat-bine. The two lamps supported by the stems 3 will thus be turned tic so as to operate smoothly. rl`he stress of the sprinffs within the easings can be varied b ad us nu the screw )lugs ll. To ell'ect v t) n j this ad ustinent it 1s lirst necessar f to re- .l move the cotter pin engaging eaen ot the plugs and alter the adjustn'ient has been made, the said pin can be reinem-ted into the groove l2 alining with the pin openings. By arranging two intersecting grooves in cach screw plug'y a very minute adjustment of the plugs can be made.

It will be seen that the attachment Which has been described can be readily applied to various makes of automobiles and by reason of its simplicity and compactnessfit Will notmar the appearance of the machine or easily get out of order. Moreover the said attachment can be employed with various forms of vehicles other than automobiles.

Various changes can yof course be made in the construction and arrangement of the parts Without departing from the spirit or saeriiicinguany of the advantages of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

What is claimed is In an attachment for automobiles, a stem mounted for rotation; a lamp-engaging member carried by the stem; there being an arm projecting from the stem and provided at itsfree end with a ball; a tubular casing; actuating means connected With the casing; springs located in the casing and abutting at their outer ends against the casing; and block fitting closely 1n the vasing for sliding movement, the inner ends of the springs abutting against the block and the ball being rotatably mounted in the block, l

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, l have .hereto ailixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
